Onslaught joined the Twelfth Destroyer Flotilla in February, 1916,[6] and operated with it at the Battle of Jutland.[7]

On 29 October 1917 Onslaught was grounded and an A.B. was drowned. An Court of Enquiry fixed blame on Commander John Ouchterlony Barron, who had only been appointed in command three days previously. Barron was superseded in command by Hamilton Edward Snepp on 26 November.[8]

In May, 1918, Onslaught transferred to the Third Destroyer Flotilla, being then one of just two destroyers.[9]
